Leading riders on the 2026 start list
Wiebes is the standout name after taking the 2025 victory ahead of Lara Gillespie and Gladys Verhulst-Wild.
Her return gives SD Worx-Protime another chance to control a race that has regularly favoured fast finishers, although this year’s entry contains several riders capable of challenging her if the race reaches Fourmies together.
Charlotte Kool is among the quickest riders on the list, while Silvia Zanardi returns after winning the race in 2024. Pfeiffer Georgi, the 2021 winner, is another former champion currently due to start.
Gillespie also returns after finishing second last year, with Nienke Veenhoven, Amalie Dideriksen, Alison Jackson, Kathrin Schweinberger, Valentine Fortin and Victoire Berteau adding further depth to the field.

Late substitutions are common, particularly in the final week before a one-day race, so individual names can still change between now and Sunday.
